Polly and John's blackhearted love

I’m really liking this new PJ Harvey/John Parish album A Woman a Man Walked By, which seems to allow Ms. Harvey to let her wild side out. You can hear pretty much all of the PJ styles on this album, the pop diva stuff from Stories from the City, the crazy blues of To Bring You My Love, the wild-eyed out-there-ness of “Sheila Na Gig”, the spooky lullabies from White Chalk…weird, because she didn’t write any of the music, just the words. I’ve got an interview with Parish today at 11, hope I don’t blow it.
